07.10.09 Lunch with a Legend - Peter Gammons

I got the opportunity to attend ESPN 1000's Lunch with a Legend featuring Peter Gammons today. The event was held at Morton's, The Steakhouse in Chicago and was part of the live Wadle and Silvy show on ESPN 1000.


I could sit and listen to Peter Gammons speak all afternoon. That guy should get his own radio show. He had interesting stories about A-Rod, Dennis Eckersley and compared Alphonso Soriano to a step or two better than Mookie Wilson. It was a great lunch and his stories were captivating. During the commercial breaks, the crows got loud talking amongst themselves, once Gammons started talking you could hear a pin drop. He is definitely respected.

Getting my picture taken with Peter Gammons. I also had him sign one of my Midnight Oil album covers, as I knew he was a fan. We I passed it over to him he laughed and said that they were one of his favorite bands. Anyone can get a baseball or picture signed.
